WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans got a civics lesson Wednesday on their roles in an impeachment trial. Rule No. 1: No talking in class.
McConnell promised that"we intend to do our constitutional responsibilities" and warned that senators won't be allowed to speak because they are jurors. McConnell said such silence"would be good therapy for a number of them." McConnell told Republicans that under the rules a motion to dismiss might be made this time by President Donald Trump's defense team. That could cut any trial short.
McConnell had vowed in a fundraising pitch that"the way impeachment stops is with a Senate majority with me as majority leader."
I hope he kills this abomination as soon as possible in the Senate - that is IF it ever makes it to the Senate. Which I doubt. It will all be timed politically because it's a sham anyway to be used for that purpose. Everyone knows this.
Rule 1 (for GOP eyes only): No matter what crimes Trump has committed ignore the over whelming evidence and vote not guilty.
